CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, April 6, 2021 — How2Recycle is excited to welcome Thrive Market into the How2Recycle label program. Thrive Market is an American e-commerce membership-based retailer offering natural and organic food products. Enjoyers of Thrive Market products can anticipate seeing the How2Recycle label on their branded products by the summer of 2021.
"At Thrive Market, environmental responsibility is at the core of everything we do and we're dedicated to finding solutions that rally our community behind a healthier planet. Unfortunately, recycling has always been far more confusing than it should be, so we're thankful for How2Recycle, who remove the guesswork for consumers by implementing a clear and simple labeling system educating folks on how to recycle certain materials. We're excited to partner with How2Recycle to both support our members, our mission, and our packaging innovation, ensuring the most sustainable and recyclable options for Thrive Market's own products" - Jenna Engleman, Sr Director, Thrive Market Brands.
Thrive Market has identified how confusing recycling can be for consumers based on different regional rules, fluctuating availability (e.g. curbside pickup in limited places), and a wide variance of how brands communicate the recyclability on product packaging. By joining the How2Recycle label program, they are doing their best as a retailer to help minimize recyclability confusion for consumers by clearly labeling their packaging with concise recyclability information.
The implementation of the How2Recycle label system will help minimize the confusion for the consumer so they are able to recycle more and recycle better.
